Mustangs live in the wild all year round. They are extremely tough, resilient horses. If they’re not used to people, they tend to be cautious and reticent when they encounter them. Mustangs are significantly more robust than other horse breeds because they stay outdoors even in cold, wet and windy weather. In winter, they develop such a thick coat that any snow that lands on it doesn’t melt. In addition to the herd stallion, in every mustang herd there’s also always a herd mare. She ensures that all the horses in the herd are doing well, and leads them to sources of water or verdant grasslands. If Mustangs are tamed, they are extremely versatile horses that are especially suited to leisure, trail and endurance riding.

Fun fact: The hoofs of Mustangs are so hard that they don’t need horseshoes.

Schleich products are made of various plastics and dyes, which are carefully selected to meet the respective requirements.  Most typically plastics used are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), in addition to other plastics typical for toys.  Even the material suppliers are subject to strict controls by our quality officers. The dyes used are optimally adapted to the different types of plastic and demonstrate top-rate mechanical and chemical resistance.  They ensure the high durability of Schleich products and make all Schleich pieces saliva and sweat proof as well as abrasion-resistant, and thus ensure that they are completely safe for playing with. Only once a product meets fully all international laws, standards and guidelines for toys is it released for production.  All Schleich articles and materials comply with the national and international toy requirements applicable worldwide, as well as the new European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and DIN EN 71.

Recommended for 3+.

We love Schleich's realistic animal figures, a quality toy that stimulates the child's imagination as well as teaching them about animals and wildlife.
